Aphelion

I am normally very fine with mediocre games but this one is a disaster. It has great visuals and many good views but the whole game feels like a chore and I don't think I'll be able to finish the last chapter. If you can survive past the enormous jankiness that the introduction presents, you might end up playing the whole game. I read many times this was a "parkour" game. There is no parkour (which is not a bad thing). In fact when I started the game, seeing how bad the animations were, I could not believe it was going to be based on parkour. This is more like a walking simulator in 3rd person, with some running sequences. The climbing is the oldest kind of climbing you can imagine (think Tomb Raider 2). The main characters seem to be in a competition for which will be disliked more. Bland story and exploration on rails (which is not necessarily always a bad thing), not a good experience overall.

Сподобалось! Атмосферна музика. Зворушливий сюжет. Як на мене світ доволі загадковий і інтригуючий - як і має бути у хорошій фантастиці. Так, геймплей простий та не дуже оригінальний, але одна з тих ігор де геймплей не головне. Дякую студії!

Das Spiel hinterlässt bei mir einen zwiegespaltenen Eindruck: Auf der einen Seite eine packend erzählte Story mit glaubwürdigen und gut geschriebenen Charakteren, tolle Grafik, ein super Soundtrack, gutes Pacing und eine kinotaugliche Inszenierung. Auf der anderen Seite ist die Story wenig originell. Ohne Spoilern zu wollen, setzt sich die Story größtenteils aus Versatzstücken und bekannten Science-Fiction Tropes zusammen. Sie ist nicht direkt vorhersehbar, bietet aber nichts wirklich Neues. Kritik gibt es auch für's handwerkliche: Die Steuerung durch die Schlauchlevel ist manchmal etwas clunky. Die Speicherpunkte sind manchmal nicht gut gesetzt, so dass man an schwierigeren Passagen öfter unnötig viel wiederholen muss. Das Gameplay baut gut auf bereits bekanntem auf: Laufen, klettern, springen. Manchmal sind leichte Rätsel zu lösen. Ein Lösungsbuch braucht man dafür aber nicht. Das Spiel schafft es vorbildlich, den Spieler subtil durch die Story zu führen, so dass man eigentlich immer weiß, was zu tun ist. Die Grafik ist schlichtweg großartig! Atemberaubende Landschaften, schöne Gesichtsanimationen. Hier sieht man, dass das Team die Unreal Engine bedienen kann. Insgesamt hat mich das Spiel knapp 12h lang gut unterhalten.

Italiano Aphelion — titolo cinematografico ambientato su Persefone, incentrato su due protagonisti: Thomas e Arianne, astronauti dell’ESA in missione sul pianeta. Esperienza fortemente story driven, con una presentazione visiva di grande impatto: ottima grafica e mimica facciale convincente. Sul fronte gameplay siamo vicini al walking simulator, con un po’ di esplorazione basilare, parecchie sezioni di parkour, arrampicata e discesa, alcune fasi stealth e momenti che ricordano i quick time event alla Detroit: Become Human. Sono presenti anche alcuni dispositivi legati alle meccaniche di gioco, ma evito spoiler. Appena finito, impressioni a caldo. Vale la pena? Nel complesso sì: 6,5/10. È un capolavoro? No. Però, se non vi dispiacciono i generi citati e amate l’ambientazione spaziale, è un titolo ben confezionato che si lascia giocare volentieri. English Version Aphelion is a cinematic title set on Persephone, centered around two main characters: Thomas and Arianne, ESA astronauts on a mission to the planet. It’s a heavily story-driven experience, featuring impressive visuals, strong facial animations, and solid overall presentation. Gameplay leans toward the walking simulator side, with some light exploration, plenty of parkour, climbing and traversal sections, a few stealth moments, and occasional sequences reminiscent of Detroit: Become Human–style quick time events. There are also a few gameplay devices/mechanics involved, but I’ll avoid spoilers. Just finished it — fresh impressions. Is it worth playing? Overall, yes: 6.5/10. Is it a masterpiece? No. That said, if you enjoy the genres mentioned above and you’re into space settings, it’s a well-packaged experience that remains enjoyable from start to finish.

I really wanted to give this game a positive review, but unfortunately my overall experience was more frustrating than enjoyable. The story isn't terrible, but it never really stood out to me either. It feels unfinished in places, with several questions left unanswered and an ending that doesn't provide much closure. Maybe the developers are leaving room for a sequel, but as it stands, the narrative doesn't feel particularly satisfying. The game also tries hard to build an emotional connection between its characters, but it never quite worked for me. Their relationships felt forced rather than natural, which made it difficult to become invested in them. The one exception was Thomas Cross, who at least had some charisma and brought a bit of personality and humor to the experience. To be fair, the game does have some strengths. The visuals are good, the environments look great, and the soundtrack does an excellent job of setting the atmosphere. If I were judging only the presentation, this would probably be an average-to-good game. Unfortunately, the technical issues completely overshadowed those positives. The game crashed constantly on my system. Cutscenes would sometimes end abruptly because the game simply crashed to desktop. Considering my hardware, performance should not have been an issue, yet stability was a constant problem throughout the entire playthrough. The biggest issue, however, was the gameplay itself. Character movement frequently glitched out. Sometimes I would get stuck in place for no apparent reason, while other times invisible geometry would push the character forward or make them stumble during stealth sections. Since even a small amount of noise can immediately alert enemies, these glitches often resulted in unavoidable failures. The enemy encounters also became less interesting over time. The first few encounters were tense, but eventually it became obvious that the creature simply appears wherever the game wants it to appear. You can leave it far behind, enter a new area, and suddenly it's right there again. Instead of feeling intelligent or unpredictable, it felt scripted and repetitive. I was also surprised by how poorly the scanner controls work on PC. Zooming and scanning requires excessive mouse-wheel scrolling, to the point where simple interactions become tedious. What would take a second on a controller often required constant scrolling on mouse and keyboard. During stealth sections, I was sometimes caught by enemies simply because I was still trying to zoom the scanner to register collectibles or intel. In the end, Aphelion left me with mixed feelings. There is a solid visual and audio presentation here, and there are moments where the game shows potential. However, the combination of technical problems, frustrating controls, and an underwhelming story made it difficult for me to enjoy. Because of that, I can't recommend it, and I don't see myself replaying it in the future.

Daumen mitte. Gut: Idee/Präsentation, teils fororealistisch Mittel: Story, da wäre mehr gegangen. Auch hätten die Charaktere mehr Tiefe gebraucht. Grottig: die Steuerung. man stirbt öfter an der hakeligen und unpräzisen Steuerung als an den gefahren im Spiel Wer für die Atmo spielt: zugreifen Wer für gameplay spielt: sein lassen

Avis très mitigé ... La bande son est selon moi le gros point fort, et l'histoire nous tient jusqu'à la dernière seconde. En revanche, de trop longues phases d'escalades viennent gâcher ce gameplay à mon sens. Cependant ravis de cette découverte

2026年的游戏，不支持HDR，不支持32:9，太老土了吧。攀爬的题材我喜欢，至少给人宽阔的视野，16:9比例太榨了。

不错，但有点难。
